Better Quickly

 I seem to have a lot of people around me who are sick, not feeling well or have had surgery. I myself haven't been feeling well for about 10 days so I thought I would make myself a get well card.....just kidding! I decided one of my family and friends who aren't feeling well needed a card featuring Sick Bird from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a thin white line. The patterned paper I used is from Elizabeth Craft Designs as I wanted a soft yellow - to me yellow is comforting when you aren't feeling well. I cut the paper to fit my 5" x 5" base and to fit the design I had in mind. The sentiment was stamped and glued down on some matching card stock and added to the card. I added some flowers from my stash, some ribbon and a bow and glitter dots to finish off my card.

Kind Of Sickly!

Hello!

There is nothing worse than being under the weather and feeling like crap! But if I got this card in the mail, it sure would cheer me up! This is the adorable "Seymore's Sick Day" and "Better Quickly" sentiment from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Today I am using papers from an older collection from Echo Park Called "For The Record 2". I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I coloured in my image to match the designer papers and cut it out using my Brother Cut N Scan. It's a simple design using different rectangle sizes layered with matching cardstock. Seymore is popped up with foam squares. A scattering of enamel dots finish off my card design.

Copics Used:

Inside Spinner Card!

Hello HH Fans!

Today I am sharing with you my first "Inside Spinner" card inspired by Jennifer McGuire. When I saw her video I knew I wanted to try one of this cute interactive cards. I decide to make a Get Well Card and use the adorable "Valerie Nurse Angel" from High Hopes Stamps.

I decided to use papers from the Echo Park "Have Faith" 6x6 collection. I coloured my image with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I popped both the die cut and my image up with foam tape for extra dimension to my layers. I added Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen to the red cross, bandaids and her wings for a touch of sparkle.

On the inside is the surprise spinning element. I used the HH "Bandaid" to create the spinner with. All you have to do is wind it up before you close it and then when the recipient opens the card the bandaid spins and hopefully brings a smile to their face to cheer them up. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Better Quickly".

Here's a short video of the card in action.

Get Well Soon!

Good Morning High Hopes Followers!!

Today I am sharing with you a Get Well card I made using the super sweet "Seymor's Sick Day" stamp from High Hopes Stamps. Poor Seymore looks like he's "dragon" his butt LOL!

I started by stamping and colouring just the green of the dragon. Then using a piece of terrycloth and some of my Copic Blending Solution I dabbed it on coloured green areas. It sort of takes some of the colour out and leaves a bit of texture to the image. I then finished colouring "Seymor" and fussy cut him out using my Silhouette Machine. I chose papers from the Doodlebug  Dragon Tails 6x6 Collection. The papers match Seymor perfectly. I used half of the "Better Quickly" sentiment on the outside.

Then I inked up the other half of the "Better Quickly" sentiment on the inside.

Copics Used:

YG21, YG23, YG25, YG17

W1, W3

B28, B26, B23

R24, C1
